I am basically tired on how I spend on data every month. I have cut the way I use other social medias basically because of how I can get to manage data here.
In this post, I would be sharing what network I make use of and their data subscription fee while having the equivalent rate in dollar.
The network provider I use is AIRTEL NETWORK

Presently I use an average of 1gb a day which I don't understand how possible that is because I don't watch/stream movies online. I try so much to manage data as a blogger and due to the little amount I earn per month at work.
I make use of 22gb per month and below is a screenshot of my data Usage for this past month.
screenshots taken from my phone settings
The network provider offers double data for New Sim Cards for only 3 months then there after nothing. I have been buying New Sim Cards every 3 months and I am tired of having so many phone numbers and changing sim cards. So I have been doing the $8.6 dollar sub for 11gb which I later get an extra 11gb as my double data bonus to sum it up to 22gb.
I don't know how I consume much data when I do not download or stream movies. I am just always on Hive enjoying my time reading and commenting on people's contents.
In Nigeria, the minimum wage paid here is $21.51 and I f*cking earn the minimum wage which means I am damn poor. Anyway, I am still a student so I still live under the shadow of my parents but having to earn $21.51 and $8.6 goes away from it every months feels like a lice in my body constantly sucking my blood.
Before I started managing my data i.e. I disconnected from using other social media apps and only discord, Twitter, and hive. I usually subscribe twice a month. I could not continue doing that so I disconnected from apps like Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and WhatsApp.
Now my sim is over 3 months old which means there won't be double data for me and going out to get a new sim is stress for me because of the traffic I will face before I get back home. When I went out yesterday, I literally got home after 1am.
Another thing is, this is one of the cheapest data offered compared to other network 😩. So switching to another means I want to spend more money which I don't want to.
Anyway I would like to know how you subscribe for data in your country.
